Thanks, this article says what I have been saying all along. But it makes a much more articulate argument then I have been able to muster.

A DeSantis ticket is logically impossible.
The candidate necessarily hates Trump and loves him at the same time.

Jeb Bush and Cruz people...that explains why Mark Levin is pushing Desantis on Twitter
Not on Truth Social!
Mark was/is wound up romantically with a Cruz campaign person.
Makes sense because he also endorsed Liz Cheney.

I think Sundance has a pretty sound take on what’s going down. He’s worth reading if you want to get close to the truth.
As an over half century participant and observer of GOP politics I have made the following reads:
Clay and Buck — been on the DeSantis wagon from the get-go.
Hannity, Laura and 95% of the FOX crew — will kiss whatever fanny Rupert tells them to, they like the living more than they have convictions to fight. Which means they’re really swamp creatures — DeSantis
Mark Levin — Just a louder version of Hannity. DeSantis
I think many of the conservative podcasters lean Trump with the exception of Ben Shapiro and his crew. It’s all quite interesting.
And then there are “the people” who will speak on election day. It looks like they’re pretty solidly with Trump.

Didn’t Mark Levin just do a fawning interview with President Trump at Mar-A-Lago??? Actually, I thought it was quite good!! Trump was excellent as usual and Mark asked good questions and stayed out of his way. At the end, he was very complimentary to President Trump and seemed sincere! If Levin is walking a picket fence between Trump and Desantis, he’s doing it at his own peril. People don’t take kindly to disingenuous behavior!!

The Never Trump Republicans, who were team Jeb in 2016 This article, like most anything from Trump or his remaining supporters these days, is 100% full of projection, angst, vitriol, slander, and unjustified animosity.
Not everyone who opposes Trump now is a NeverTrumper. First, many of us were big supporters of Trump in the past. Second, most of us have said we would ultimately vote for Trump should he win the nomination.
However, with their "our way or the highway" attitude, they are only hastening Trump's ultimate demise. They're too arrogant to understand it, and to be honest, most don't even care if America is immediately destroyed if their chosen hero doesn't somehow wrest control of the Presidency this time around, be that by hook or by crook.
The fate of Trump is all they care about, else they wouldn't be so repulsive and vile in their disdain for anyone who dare challenge him. I have no idea why they have become so obsessed with Trump's fate, they act like he's the only Republican that's ever had to deal with evil Democrats or something. But the truth is, he didn't even do a very good job of opposing them, in the end. Now he doesn't even try, he and his surrogates like the author of this tripe just focus their fire on other Republicans, instead.

The two former campaigns of Team Jeb Bush and Team Ted Cruz have merged into the 2024 alliance for Team Ron! It was obvious that Ronald Herbert Walker DeSantis was a Uniparty stalking horse from the very beginning.
The fact that he chooses to run now when MAGA will have none of it instead of 2028 when MAGA would be all for him tells you everything you need to know.
My guess is that his handlers are certain that they will be able to keep Trump off the 2024 ballot with lawfare and have assured him of that.

I openly predicted last year, when Ron DeSantis announces his candidacy, we will have the most fun in a presidential primary in history. The last 24 hours have been absolutely hilarious. If you are not having fun at the expense of the DeSantis billionaire funders, you are doing it wrong.

Candidate Ron DeSantis cannot even hold a public event in the state of Florida because the only people who support him are the isolated group immediately around him and the Selfie-My-Lunch crowd who are disconnected from the average life of a Floridian.
Have you ever heard of a presidential candidate launching a campaign and NOT holding a public event in his/her home state to do it? Most people are overlooking the obvious. His handlers could not run the risk of a public event for their principal. What does that tell you about the candidate?
Everything, and I do mean everything, about Ron DeSantis is manufactured, fake and phony; especially the claimed support that you see pushed by national media and the right-wing alt-media that are placing their bets to be paid by the massive financial mechanism behind the DeSantis management team. Floridians can see through it, and the handlers are hoping the sunlight doesn’t spread to Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina.
In the state of Florida, support for Ron DeSantis 2024 is maybe in the 15 to 20% range (I’m being generous), beyond that he is not liked at all. I travel the state, talk to blue-collar ordinary people all the time, there is no grassroots support for the fraud that DeSantis has perpetrated on the state. This announcement has left him naked to the realization of his character as a raw political opportunist.
Once you realize all of this hype is manufactured and phony, you can have buckets of fun with it. All of the DeSantis republican supporters are predictable, like the Cruz Crew was in 2016. Their arguments and policy points are as shallow, false and fake as their candidate. Call them out.
Look at DeSantis history, he was the lockdown beach closer during COVID-19 and he had people arrested for opening their businesses. In 2021, long after President Trump was out of office, Ron DeSantis suspended the liquor licenses of non-compliant bars and restaurants. Don’t let the Ukraine management team (Pushaw inc.) attempt to re-write it.

Ron DeSantis is the easiest candidate in the history of presidential candidates to deconstruct, because it’s all phony.
If you come across a Florida resident claiming to support Ron DeSantis, tell them to post “I LOVE RON DESANTIS” on their Facebook page, Instagram or social media, and watch what happens. They won’t do it, because they don’t want to be ridiculed by their community network. Yes, it really is that obvious and that bad.
If you listen to national media or alt-right CONservative media, those being paid for their participation and support of the fraud, you would think Ron DeSantis has a lot of support and following. He doesn’t. DeSantis is running away next week to campaign outside Florida because the sunlight down here is too hot. His management team is trying to make a quick national impression because sooner or later people are going to realize the pretense.
(Bloomberg) — Ron DeSantis’s presidential campaign sought to regain its footing Thursday by announcing a robust upcoming travel schedule to early-voting states a day after a glitch-filled launch.
The Florida governor has multiple stops scheduled for next week in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina as his campaign aims to build momentum to take on Donald Trump, currently the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination.
[…]
DeSantis has built-in advantages as he now officially gets under way, including a sizable amount of money left over from 2022 gubernatorial race that he can tap for his presidential bid, the backing of a well-organized super PAC and GOP donors who are eager for an alternative to Trump.
DeSantis and his team are trying to raise millions of dollars in the first 48 hours at a two-day donor meet-up at the Four Seasons in Miami. More than 100 fundraisers have congregated at the luxury resort for a campaign briefing, an afternoon of fundraising calls and a reception with the governor on Thursday evening. The DeSantis team hopes to raise $8 to $10 million, according to two sources briefed on the plans, with each individual contributing the maximum amount allowed of $3,300.
Next week, DeSantis travels to Iowa for two days followed by New Hampshire and South Carolina — the first three GOP primary voting states. He and his senior staff recently told donors that they view Iowa’s GOP caucus as one of his best chances to challenge Trump, since the team’s internal polling shows DeSantis with a favorability rating of two-to-one with evangelicals compared to Trump.

He’s got everything, except voters!
